1'0 all w/wm. it may concern:

Be it known that I, Sruzoo Pbmxo, acitizenpf. the United States,residing at Olney, in thecounty of Richland and-State. of Illinois, haveinvented. anew and .useful Rewinder, of which the following isu.specification. i

My invention relates to an'improved rcwinder for typewriting machines,and in particular, my object is to improyje upon the re windingmechanism disclosed in Patent 980,275, relating to rewinder and reelmechanism for sl'enographic typewriters, 0r stenoty e machines.

t is the object of my invention to proerly roll the paper at any rate ofspeed; that will roll the paper either on a small spool or lar e spool;and that will operate ositively an evenly from a small spool to a argeone,

' I and which,'beginning with a small spool will ing shown in section;Fig.2

Like characters of reference refer to like parts throughout the severalviews Referring to the accompanying drawings, I provide any suitable.larae ets or arms '1 and 2. in arm 2 is mounted a shaft 3. suporting areel disk 4, normally pressed inward by a spring 5," preferably as shownIn Fig, 1. site end of the sha fl. nnmla-red G.

I disclaim any intention or novelty in arm and sprint' A. thumb nut issecured to tin,- opptr i the paperspool, indicated by S, the reel diskhem I mounted on a shaft 9 at the outer end of \z irh is a thumb nut10.. To this extent the nu'chanism resembles what has' heretofore beeninvented. My invent on relates principally to the novel elements andoperation hereinafter described and 'digeloeed in the drawings. I[n'm'ide an inner, s priol# actuating disk 12, n t' l i3 mount d'pinfiwhich engages with the core or spoqlf'S ,on which the paper i rt-wmmd.

What I claim is: I

1. In a mechanism of the character described the combination of asupporting bracket arm, means for attaching the said member tc atypewriting machine, a, shaft in the outer end of the bracket arm, areel disk mounted thereon, a spool-actuating disk adjacent the reel diskand having radial channels, springs mounted in the channels, hallsagainst which the springs press, a ring inclosing the spocl-actnatingdisk and driven by the halls, the'eforesaid ring also having a ratchportion, and means engageable with the rat-ch to prevent the device frombeing driven in both directions.

In a mechanism of the character described, the combination of a bracketarm adapted. to be attached to a ty ewriting machine, a shaft mounted insaid arm, a reel disk mounted on the shaft, an inner disk shat-ant thereel disk and having a pin projecting therethrough to engage with andactuate a reel or spool, the inner disk having radial channels, a springand. a ball against which the spring presses within each of theaforesaid channels, a ring within which the aforesaid inner disk ismounted, said ring having a ratchet portion, a pawl engage-able with theaforesaid ratchet portion of the ring, a disk arm mounted adjacent theaforesaid ring, means for maintaining the pawl in engagement withtheratch, a longitudinally reclprocable arm pivotally attached to thedisk arm to actuate same, and means for securing the members set forthin operative engagement.

In testimony whereof I hereunto set myhand, in the presence of twowitnesses.
